Take Or Give

Should we as humans rejoice the gifts we have or constantly flex our muscles to concentrate only on giving?

I hear "give and take". Never hear "give or take". But, it looks like that is a constant choice we make. How can we give AND take? Isn't it self-contradictory?

If we watch TV for sixteen minutes, should we be guilty that we didn't spend those minutes trying to solve the hunger of the kids in somalia? Did the globe warm up by a tenth of a degree before you finish watching Joe stick his head into a turkey? Did the carbon release from that TV help the ordeal?

Should you be worried or should you not.

Choice is constant. And, it is anything but binary. The third and most common form is not to choose.

Collective subconcious of the humankind may be the single most potent force available to mankind. If we can alter it, we can possibly achieve anything we need.
